Cleveland signs a formidable quarterback named Star to replace “… ‘GREAT READ”;
The offensive line experienced the most change of any position group in 2024 despite the Browns dealing with an abundance of injuries.
Cleveland saw right tackle Jack Conklin go down in Week 1 due to a knee injury right from the start of the season. Subsequently, Jedrick Wills, the starting left tackle, suffered a knee injury that ended his season. Subsequently, rookie tackle Dawand Jones, who was substituting for Conklin throughout his broken out season, met a similar end.
Meanwhile, All-Pro Guard Joel Bitonio battled a number of injuries this year and center Ethan Pocic missed some time with a nerve issue as well.
Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus compiled a list of free agent offensive lineman to be and their most likely landing spots and linked Cleveland to three separate players. All three of whom could fill a key role of swing tackle for the Browns.
Coming in as the ninth best available lineman this offseason according to PFF, Spielberger named Jets 2020 first-round pick, Mekhi Becton as the first potential target for Cleveland. As Spielberger explained, Becton may look for a place to boost his stock this season.
